So yeah, Google totally just won the conference showdown by easily beating both Apple and Microsoft. Not only did Google announce Android 4.1 with some really cool new features, a cheap but non-crippled tablet, and a new Android device called the Nexus Q, but they also opened up pre-orders for Google Glass. So yeah.

But if it's keeping people in your country in work, rather than having their jobs sent overseas, it should be worth paying a little extra.

That is essentially not far from broken window fallacy (scary how undoubtedly many people subscribe to it) - let's do something in a way which isn't most efficient, which limits the appeal of the product (if only via higher price), which isn't about excelling in something & figuring out how to do that (drawing customers that way) ...no, it's about keeping people in work.
